Bio-Rad QX600 AutoDG Droplet Digital PCR System with Automated Droplet Generator, Plate Sealer & PTC Tempo Deepwell Thermal Cycler

The Bio-Rad QX600 AutoDG Droplet Digital PCR System is an advanced platform designed for high-throughput, absolute nucleic acid quantification with automated droplet generation for uniformity and reproducibility. It integrates multiple components to streamline digital PCR workflows essential in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and biomanufacturing applications.

Key components include:

• AutoDG Automated Droplet Generator: Processes 1–96 samples per run, starting sample volume 20 µL, producing ~20,000 droplets/sample without requiring a cooling block.
• QX600 Droplet Reader: Provides absolute quantification with sensitivity better than 0.1%, capable of multiplex detection of up to 12 targets per well across 6 fluorescence channels (FAM/EvaGreen, HEX/VIC, Cy5, Cy5.5, ROX, and ATTO 590) using LED illumination and avalanche photodiode detectors.
• PTC Tempo Deepwell Thermal Cycler: Supports deepwell blocks for 96 x 0.2 mL tubes, 48 x 0.5 mL tubes, or 96-well plates; accommodates reaction volumes of 1–125 µL (10–125 µL recommended); features automated lid, temperature range 4–100°C, programmable gradient across 8 rows spanning 1–24°C, with a maximum ramp rate of 2.5°C/sec.
• PX1 PCR Plate Sealer: Enables rapid plate sealing (heat-up time <3 minutes) with temperature range 100–190°C and sealing times from 0.5 to 10 seconds, enhancing sample containment and reducing contamination risk.

The fully serviced system supports critical applications such as detection of rare genetic variants, copy number variation (CNV) analysis, high-precision viral load quantification, and is widely used in gene editing validation, synthetic biology research, and bioprocess monitoring. Automated droplet generation and integrated plate sealing reduce hands-on time and variability, making it critical for consistent molecular diagnostics and biopharmaceutical production workflows.

This pre-owned system includes remote setup and training, 120-day warranty in the continental US, and 60 days international warranty, ensuring reliable performance for demanding laboratory environments.
